Third Time's the Charm?

I seriously hope so! I hate coleslaw, but James loves it. Therefore, making it to his liking has been a bit difficult...if you know anything at all about my husband you certainly know what a picky eater he is!

My first try was "edible". Second try made his face turn green with disgust. (Which was actually pretty amusing!) After reading several hundred coleslaw recipes that were basically all the same I've resorted to just making one up. Unfortunately I can't taste test it because I think cabbage is nasty no matter what you put on it. (Insert flashback of my mother force-feeding me corned beef and cabbage every St. Patrick's Day. Yuck!)

Can't wait until dinner time! Hopefully we won't end up in the ER or something.

...and Happy Birthday to my Sweetie too!

Maddie's birthday was almost 2 months ago now but I never got around to posting pics. I found some super FUN digital scrapbooking downloads and templates for FREE here. Lots of cute stuff! Check it out. She wanted a "pink" ladybug party so we had a "bug hunt" which the kids loved!

Happy 3rd Birthday, Henry!

Look at this BIG boy! I can hardly believe that we just celebrated his THIRD birthday. He is growing up into a little man so fast! He loves wearing his "big boy" clothes just like Daddy for church. Even though it is 100 degrees outside he WANTS to wear a dress shirt and blazer! I am also thrilled to announce that we finally broke him of the "finger-sucking" habit. Yay Henry! Of course now he is in love with gum. Ha! Ha!

I posted this photo of Henry when he was born to serve as a reminder of God's awesome power and grace! I continue to praise Him every morning for our health and thank Him for the trials that have given me an even deeper appreciation for my family. When the girls were born it was an amazing miracle, and I was in awe at every new thing they did just like all new parents. I still am! But to witness God showing Himself real through the healing of a sick newborn...well, I can't even put into words how that changed the meaning of motherhood for me. What a blessing! Sooooo you'll probably see the same blog next year... and every June... and probably in October around Charlie's birthday too! (As he is my other super-miracle and my eyes still water every time he even smiles at me.)

As I type this my BIG boy is tearing through the house pulling out every toy he can and terrorizing his sisters! Fun! But I'm thankful he is with us and able to do that!
